How to grow your payments app with campervan and motorhome hire firms

- 3See every payment as it happens
Campervan and motorhome hire firms rent vans for weekends, weeks and longer road trips, often to customers from other countries. Most take a booking deposit, the balance before the trip, and a refundable security deposit that is returned after the van comes back, plus extras such as bedding, bike racks, camping chairs and pet fees. A payments app that sends deposit and balance links, takes the security deposit and handles extras and refunds cleanly can win these firms, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take deposits and balances by link
A deposit link when customers book and a balance link before the trip means the owner has the money before handing over the keys.
